lyrics

Lit the incense,
beat the drums of war,
hand came from the water,
approached it from the shore.

I got a sword from the lady of the lake,
room so rose red quiet, you could hear my heart break.
I got sixteen arms a'spinnin' like a cigar from Mexico.
Now I got fangs just like a lion.
I got horns like a buffalo.

Hawk showed it to me in that drawing that he made.
How all those animals were hiding in the beard upon my face.
Now this warpaint looks like lightning,
see me as I really am.
With an OM A RA TSA NA DHIH,
With an OM A RA God-damn.

Vajra Vetali wrapped her legs around me
and made a baby in the holy ghost.
See her on the right side of my motorcycle helmet,
glowin' in the dark while I roam like a ronin samurai,
or maybe Odin on his horse. 'cause baby, we ride to war.

And the Taras said,
Don't you cry,
no, don't you cry no more.

So I lit the burning sword.

These days we're choppin' heads off,
dancin' with the ghost, takin' heads,
dancin' with the ghost, takin' heads,
dancin' with the ghost.

Now my horse is dancing like marauders in the sky,
and the valkyries are chanting, OM A RA Adventure Time.

Now's the time, sound the horn.

Dancin' in the boneyard with a gold snake round my neck,
swappin' spit with witches in an ancient discoteque.

Oh my host,
of blazing, wrathful females.
Smash into dust-motes
the body and speech
of all the nature of hindering foes,
and release their consciousness
into dharma-dhatu.
Let me quell all injury,
and achieve my aims just as I wish.

Ya'll got to start paddlin' harder.
Ya'll got to start paddlin' hard.
I've got to reach that shore.
I've got the power of gods.

(Oooooooooooooo)
